Before head coach Jay Gruden headed out for his fifth day of practice he took to the podium in front of the media.

Gruden spoke about the injury status on cornerback Tevin Mitchel and running back Matt Jones as well as an evaluation of quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Here are some of the highlights via @Redskins and local beat reporters:

Gruden on QB @RGIII's performance so far in #SkinsCamp: "He's been doing fine. ... Overall, I think he's handled everything extremely well.

#Skins Coach JGruden: Says RG3 ‘on steady climb’ Day 5 of camp; is benefitting from QB coach Cavanaugh & daily reps.

Injury report: Matt Jones (sore knee; day to day); Willie Smith (Achilles; day to day); Tevin Mitchel (torn left labrum; requires surgery).

Goal for players' off day tomorrow: "Just rest and get away from the coaches for a day. Let us get away from them for a day would be nice."

Meanwhile, reserve Matt Jones had a tough day yesterday. Took a shot to the knee and the small of his back. He's day-to-day

Gruden on TE Jordan Reed: "I feel a difference with Jordan." Said he has more confidence in his strength in regards to his blocking.

#Skins Coach JGruden hopes HBO’s Hard Knocks will mic only Houston during joint practice this wk; regardless, he'll run team as usual

Gruden says what we all thought: Matt Jones' physicality may have drawn the attention of team's defensive players. Seems he's a target.
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) August 3, 2015

Gruden said he expects OLB Junior Galette to be working off to the side during practices the next few days.
